In Figure 5-52, three ballot boxes are connected by cords, one of which wraps over a pulley having negligible friction on its axle and negligible mass. The masses are mA = 32.0 kg, mB = 36.0 kg, and mC = 11.0 kg. When the assembly is released from rest, (a) what is the tension in the cord connecting B and C, and (b) how far does A move in the first 0.210 s (assuming it does not reach the pulley)? http://edugen.wiley.com/edugen/cours...5/fig05_52.gifFig. 5-52

You seem to have posted all your homework questions on this topic. MHF does provide that sort of service. Please show some effort with these questions. What have you tried? Where do you get stuck?
